A CITY FULL OF ENTERPRISE AND CROW
ING RAPIDLY.
All in all, consider AshevilIe one
of the most remarkable young cities in
the South. To-day no city of her size
is;doingmore to perpetuate''the glory of
this generation in the New South than
Asheville, and have scarcely passed a
square without finding some kind of
building or improvements going on.
The streets are full of busy people,
squads of workmen are everywhere lay
ing water-pipes, paving the streets and
sidewalks, while the hotels are crowded
to their utmost capacity, many visitors
being forced to seek private boarding
houses even for few days stay. Peo-
pie are pouring in here daily from ev-
cry section of the Union, and there
are, also, a great many Englishmen
among them. The entire population
seems to be thoroughly cosmopolitan,
and higher standard ofsociety. would
be hard to find. Nearly everybody,
among the whites, of course, is well
educated and filled with the modern
snap and energy. There cannot be
many under I5o houses going up to-
day in different parts of the city, and
all the time new contracts are given
out. The character of the structures
gives an idea of the quality of the peo-
pie, for very few of them are common
place. Already there are some of the
finest residences here to be found in
the South, and the Battery Park hotel
would be creditable to any city in the
country. They seem to have the At
lanta idea of enterprise, and while the
industrial interests are not large Al
present, the foundation IS laid for fins

work in this direction, as will be seen
later in this correspondence. The
people are now cIamorous for better
railroad facilities, and appear to have
gone to work to have them. This week
a company was organized to construct
a line from Atlanta to Baltimore via
Asheville, and they expect to be at
work on it within sixty or ninety days.
At present the connections west are
abominable, but efforts are making to
have them improved.
THE RAILROADS
now running into Asheville come from
four directions, one branch of the
Western North Carolina railroad going
to Morristown, Team, another to
Salisbury, N. C. The Asheville and
Spartanburg runs to the latter city in
South Carolina, connecting with the
Piedmont Airline. These roads fur
nish at present only fair accommoda-
tions, but are to be improved. They
are all controlled by the Richmond &
Danville system. Everybody here
wants new railroads, and believe they
are going to get them.

AsheVille's Location.
NESTING AMONG THE MOUNTAINS 2,33c
FEET ABOVE THE SEA.

NESTING AMONG THE MOUNTAINS 1880
FEET ABOVE THE SEA.
The location of Asheville in these
mountains seems to have been selected
by some one who knew just where hap
piness could be found, and where ma
ture gives to human eyes. her richest
treasures. The mean altitude here
above the sea level is about 1900 feet,
though a thousand hills and mount
aims rise on every side to much
greater height.
Among the foot hills of the noun
tains that comprise the great Appa-
lachian system lies strip of country
about fifty miles in width and one
hundred and fifty miles or thereabouts
in length, that is shown by official data
furnished by the signal service of the
United States to possess dryness of
atmosphere the same as found at Den
yer, Colorado, and middle Kansas
This locality at an altitude varying
from two to six thousand feet above
sea level, located several hundred
miles south of Denver, naturally has
many advantages of vital importance
and interest to the invalid, as well as
the tourist, that should not be care
lessly overlooked. The attention OF
some of our most eminent specialists
in throat and lung diseases has been
attracted to this spot, and now many
of their patients are being sent there
FOR the benefit they are sure to derive.
The metropolis of this section, the
city of Asheville, is situated on hilly
plateau between the Allegheny noun
tains on the west, and the Blue Ridge

Asheville The Land of the Sky, the
poets dream, the health-seeker'S para
disc. He who said "See Naples and
de-" should now put it ssSee Asheville
and live" Live, not to think of find
ing other heaven like this, but to dwell
here and here alone forever. As in
dite these lines, looking out from my
window in the Battery Park Hotel, l
think Of what mighty stretch of glory
lies before me. Tie noble currents and
waves of the deep blue sea find their
counterpart in the majestic waves of
these blue mountains, and they melt
away toward the horizon, losing their
outlines where the sky seems to rim
the earth, looking for all the world
like an expanse of old ocean. Pic
ture it? Who canl 1t were almost
sacrilege to try it, and one can only
look around and stand enthralled.
There is no grander scenery than
here, and he who cannot feel the in
spiration of it must be either a dema
gogue or a fool. There is beauty in
it all, and its vastness gives it gran
deur. 1 have stood on these hills and
mountain tops, peering through the
thin, transparent ether, never firing,
all the while having the sight to inten-
sify itself, until it seemed as though l
were raised one step nearer to God,
and needed but to see the golden gates
swing back in the west to look in upon
the infinite beauty of heaven itself.
Sometimes too, during these few days
l have been here, l have seen a haze
cling over the landscape as though the
great Invisible Hand had thrown
across the cones sweet and beautiful
bridal veil. Then the sun would come
up and melt the mist away, when the
scope of ones vision was without limit
away, away, almost into infnity.
